Gutter covers are made out of metal alloy to circumvent the issues that are known to occur with vinyl-based systems. Vinyl gutter protection systems can get warped and crack in the direct sunlight or because of exposure to cold temperatures. Plus, determined rodents like squirrels, can chew through vinyl gutter covers, rendering them useless. Getting metal gutter covers in helps to protect your gutters for a much longer time period, making them a solid investment. 

A Best Gutters provides a system that creates a protective barrier keeping leaves, seed pods, pine needles, shingle grit and other debris out of your gutters. Our goal is to take gutter cleaning off of your “to do” list. Gutters have one job. Move water away from a building or home so the structure does not suffer from water damage. When water is not diverted away from your home, all sorts of problems develop. Tired of your gutters getting clogged? Want to install covered gutters on a commercial building? If you want leaf protection and smooth performance all year round, a gutter guard system is the right solution.

Do You Need Gutter Covers?

Gutters are effective at directing rainwater away from your home, but unfortunately, they can get clogged with leaves, pine needles and other debris. Gutters are particularly prone to clogging in the fall and spring. This is where gutter guards (also called gutter covers, gutter screens and leaf screens) come in handy. These gutter protection systems can help keep leaves and other debris out of your gutters and prevent clogging, but they are beneficial all year long! Gutter guards are systems engineered to help prevent clogs by keeping out debris without blocking water flow.

When your gutters get clogged, different problems can arise, including:
• Leaks
• Gutter damage (including gutter systems that become loose or detached from the house)
• Roof damage
• Damage to exterior walls, insulation and drywall
• Basement flooding
• Foundation staining
• Flower bed erosion and other landscaping problems
• Mildew

These problems can be time-consuming and costly to fix, but gutter guards can help keep your gutters clean and free of debris!
